Open Journal Systems (OJS) [8]
OJS is a free and open-source software (FOSS) application for managing and publishing scholarly journals. Originally developed and released by the Public Knowledge Project [9] (PKP) in 2002 to improve access to research, it is the most widely used FOSS journal publishing platform in existence, with over 30,000 [10] journals using it worldwide.
ORCID API integration is provided through a plugin that is freely available in the OJS Plugin Gallery, which can be used to collect and authenticate ORCID iDs for users and authors; display authenticated ORCID iDs in manuscript records; and (optional) automatically request that contributing authors provide their ORCID iDs. If configured using the ORCID member API, the plugin can also update authors’ ORCID records with published article information.

OBD (Personal Bibliographic Database) oversees academic and creative outputs at Czech Universities. Administered through validations and controls, administrators ensure record accuracy in the application workflow. Verified records are sent to RIV (Research Outputs Registry), a public database in ISVaVaI [27], compiling scientific research outcomes from Czech research organizations.
Authors enter data independently, aided by a code system to ensure accuracy. The staged workflow facilitates straightforward control and validation throughout the data entry process, including posting data to RIV.
